TCF Bank Stadium

Down here at Ticket King St. Paul, we're getting super excited for the start of the upcoming Minnesota Golden Gopher football schedule at the brand spankin' new TCF Bank Stadium. It's the year of firsts: the first year out of the crappy old Dome, the first year of outdoor college division one football games and the first year of (hopefully) enjoying an icy cold brewski at a sanctioned event on the U of M campus. And the best part? Ticket King Saint Paul has awesome TCF Bank Stadium tickets! We love us some Minnesota football, and we know that all the Minnesota Golden Gopher fans out there are looking to buy Gopher football tickets. Whether you're looking for the best TCF Bank Stadium tickets, or just to get in the door, Ticket King has lots of options for you. Give us a call today!

Ticket King St Paul has a lot of Friends (some with fur)

Cortney is on vacation so Ticket Kristy (that’s me!) is holding down the fort. I thought I would take a minute to update everyone on the personal happenings of Ticket King St Paul this week.

Yesterday was a busy day here at Ticket King on West 7th Street. We had a lot of customers stop in to pick up tickets. I thought with the snow storm things would be slow, but I was wrong. The St Paul streets were cleared of snow by 9am and traffic was moving swiftly and parking was a breeze. I also had several customers stop in looking for holiday gifts for the sports fan in their life. I sold some Gophers Hockey tickets and Gophers Basketball Tickets (not St Paul events, I know, but we sell tickets to everything).

This morning, I also had to dispose of a furry mouse “friend” of Cortney’s. When I took out some trash from the basement, I noticed the mouse trap behind the bag had a dead furry critter firmly stuck to it. It was yucky, but I put on a brave face and a large plastic bag over my entire arm and carried the mouse to the garbage out back. I know Cortney will be happy to hear about all of this when she gets back!

p.s. The Ticket King St Paul fax drives me crazy – the fan is so loud and I have had to remove several paper jams.

Goooo Gophers!

The Minnesota Gophers are hot, hot, HOT! I can't believe how fast the tickets are moving for the last few home Golden Gopher football games of the season! It's really nice to see that the fan base is really supporting this team, and that they've improved SO MUCH from last season. Don't miss out on your chance to catch all of the action from the best seats in the Metrodome - buy your Gopher football tickets today!

On top of everything else, the Gopher hockey team and Gopher basketball team are just starting their seasons, and we have awesome tickets available for both of those Golden Gopher schedules as well!

Week of August 25th at Ticket King

It's the last week of August, and the Minnesota State Fair is in full swing! Annnd to be honest with you that's pretty much all that's going on this week. No home games on the Minnesota Vikings schedule and the Twins are still on their 14-day away game bender. Here's what's up at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand this week:

Monday, August 25th: Dierks Bentley tickets

Tuesday, August 26th: Paramore tickets

Wednesday, August 27th: Mark Schultz tickets

Friday, August 29th: Prairie Home Companion tickets

AND also on the event list this week:

MINNESOTA GOLDEN GOPHERS TICKETS

for their first regular season home football game of the season at the HHH Metrodome. Don't miss these guys in their last season at the Dome - they're shaping up to be a great team this year! And ticket prices can't be beat for this Saturday's game. You can even pick them up on your way down there at our Minneapolis location, two blocks north of the Metrodome on the corner of Chicago and Washington. Call us at 651-298-8100 or check out our website for more information!

I Like It, I Love It

Since we've had a relatively slow couple of days as far as events actually happening this week, I thought I'd compile a list of what we're really looking forward to over the next month and a half down here at Ticket King St. Paul and Ticket King Minneapolis.

First and foremost, next Wednesday the Minnesota Wild schedule is released. This has got to be one of the highlights of my summer :)

The Minnesota Twins schedule matches them up with a division rival, the Chicago White Sox between July 28th and 31st. This is always a fun series to go to, especially as we head into the last third of the season. We have a good selection right now of Twins vs. White Sox tickets.

The Minnesota Vikings schedule kicks into high gear for the pre-season the beginning of August. Their first home game is Friday, August 8th at 7 PM where they'll be taking on the Seattle Seahawks. The second home pre-season game will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the 23rd of August, a Saturday, at 7 PM. Ticket King has really awesome Vikings vs. Seahawks tickets and Vikings vs. Steelers tickets, check out our website or give us a call (651-298-8100) if you're looking!

My favorite baseball series (ok, sometimes, like this year, we're matched up more than once, but I don't know how you would spell the plural of series?) is when the New York Yankees come into town to take on our hometown boys. Twins vs. Yankees tickets are a hot item at any time of year, and since this series is right in the heat of baseball season (August 11 through August 13), make sure you get yours early!

The first home Minnesota Golden Gopher football game will be August 30th at the Metrodome - this is such a fun game to go to, if you have that evening open, keep it that way! Gophers vs. Huskies football tickets are available by phone or online through Ticket King.

The first home Minnesota Golden Gopher hockey game is October 10th. Still quite a ways away, but the early bird gets the worm on this one, Gopher hockey tickets ALWAYS sell out early.

Have a fabulous weekend!

A/C, Finally.

Well, all...Ticket King St. Paul FINALLY has some air conditioning! It's so much nicer to have cooler temps in here...especially with the ninety degree weather headed towards us on Friday. And it looks just as good as it feels in this office today! Since the construction is done, the office is finally cleaned up, so it's actually a workable space again, it's not like you're entering a danger zone by coming into Ticket King St. Paul anymore.

I had a W. 7th Street neighbor stop into our office yesterday in the morning wanting to know about our plans for the Republican National Convention that will be taking place at the Xcel Energy Center at the beginning of September. Just as a forewarning, Ticket King St. Paul will most likely not be open that week. Never say never, but it's going to be way too crazy down here for us to warrant being open. In which case I will be working out of our Minneapolis office, which is about two blocks from the Metrodome on the corner of Chicago and Washington, just in time for the start of the Gopher football season!

I love the first home Minnesota Golden Gopher football game. It's like the fall season has really started, and it's so neat to see the marching band line up outside the Metrodome getting everyone riled up for the game. Ticket King has some really awesome tickets for the home games, too, so if you're looking to catch a couple of the football games this year, check out our website or give me a call at 651-298-8100.
